Just selling off last years bike by the look of it.

Would make an awesome track day bike...

Not pocket change, but what would it cost to put all that kit on a nearly-new R1? Never mind the setup.

They're just selling off last year's practice bikes
Originally, there were both Dan Linfoot's and Shaun Winfield's bikes (The one for sale above is Shaun's bike)
Linfoot's one was a slightly better spec 2018 model and had a brand new 2019 Motor at the end of last year with a super bike head, and I got drunk on new year's eve and agreed with Gary from Tag to buy it
Subsequently, it'll be for sale once this lockdown's over as I can't justify keeping it as a spare bike and shouldn't have bought it in the first place (as my wife keeps telling me)
I replaced the fairings and a few bits of bobs :

Very positive contribution - jealousy or just grumpy?

I miss my drunk evenings on ebay; the stuff I have bought and sold rapidly once I recovered from the hangover and bking. Luckily I was pipped at the post for a Ducati Desmosedici RR whilst going through a rough patch of my marriage, although it made no difference I still got divorced and stopped drinking.

That Superbike would definitely be on the drunk list

In fairness, they're both practice bikes that they rode during the off season when BSB have a ban on testing the superbikes they race on, so although it's likely that both have been crashed at times, it's not full on race crashes where the bikes get totalled. Plus, as the team has good support from Yamaha, any damaged parts get thrown in the bin and replaced with new
The same can't be said for most 'non BSB' race or track bikes where budget is normally an issue

Neither Knowing one of the teams mains sponsors personally I have a good idea what he spent last year.
